Magnus Brass

Magnus Brass was an AWE facility from 1854-1958 so
workers are eligible to file Part B claims.

The site machined various forms of
uranium metal under subcontract to the National Lead Company
(Fernald). The work was performed at two locations: Reading
Road (from December 1954 through November 1955) and West 7th
Street (from December 1955 through December 1957). Total
production machining was approximately two or three hundred
billets.

During the period of residual
contamination, as designated by the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health and as noted in the dates
above, employees of subsequent owners and operators of this
facility are also covered under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act.
